ahh tabs..thats what manual talked about, i haven't looked at that damn torque convert since it was taken out. then i came up with this bright idea that maybe trans are different. then got a little worried about this torque chinga tool. i know fords/ chevys i just slapped them together, and the chevy was a 4 spd muncie that i knew ya needed alignment tool, was scared that my rc had some more special traits...thank you all for the help
